Minor Midgets Moving On
The Grey Bruce Highlander 2002 Minor Midgets traveled to Fort Erie for their year end SCTA League Tournament this past weekend.  After a great weekend of hockey the Highlanders obtained their season goal of advancing through the tournament and into a Play Off Series.

The team went 2-1-1 for 5 points which was good to secure second place in their pool and move into a play off series vs first place Oakvile Rangers.  GBH fell in their first game vs Guelph 6-1 but bounced back to tie Burlington 3-3,  defeat Buffalo 8-1 and Halton 4-1.

There is the opportunity for the team to advance to the OHL Cup, the Stanley Cup for Minor Midget AAA hockey.  Defeat Oakvile in the series and the team automatically advances.  If Oakville wins the series the Highlanders get a one game playoff vs the loser of the Guelph/Brampton series.  Winner advances to OHL Cup.

A fantastic accomplishment for this group of young men who have overcome a great deal this season and persevered to get to this point.  The amount of man games lost to injury by this group is staggering which makes this effort even more special.



Stay tuned for dates as the play off series gets scheduled.
